OfInterest to Naval Ofrlcers.

a decision of some interest To Naval of
ficers was rendered by the United tates
Supreme Court yesterday in the case of
the United States VS.. Commander Dennis
w. Mullan appeal from the Court of
Claims. "Mullan,' says the court, sis
an officer in the regular navy. who has
served continuously therein since Septem-
Der 81, 1860. He brought suit in the
Court of Claims for additional pay under
the provisions of the longevity act of
March 3, 1888 The government main
tanned that the benefits of that act were re-
stricted to naval officere whose terms of
service had not been continuous. This
court, however, regards that as an over
strained Interpretation of the statute, and
holds that the expression las If all said
service had been continuous" does not
confine the benefits of the statute to a
service which has been non continuous.
The expression, the court says, is satisfied
by considering it as an extension
of the benefits of the statute to in
terTupted, non continuous service, and by
crediting the officer with the actual time
of such service as if it had been eontinu
Gus service. The judgment of the Court
of Claims is affirmed" Ferdinand Mul
Ian. Esq attorney at law, of this city, is
now and has been for some years engaged
in prosecuting similar claims against the
L. Government, and all Naval officers
who have either longevity or mileage
claims would do well to entrust them in
his hands for reliable attention.

Sudden Death.

Capt 0gle TilghmaD, we'll known
waterman, died suddenly last night at the
residence of Benz Martin, West street,
opposite the A. w. & B r. r. depot,
whe he was temporarily stopping when
in the city. Captain Tilghman has been
in failing health for some time, and was
a sufferer from a complication of diseases
the immediate cause of his death being
from strangulation or rupture OF the
bowels. He was about 70 years old, and
leaves wife and several grown children.
His wife and grand daughter reside with
a married son on the Severn-the former
being quite i'll at this time. Capt. Thigh
man was at one time, man of consider
able means-owning large part of Thigh
man s Island. on the Chesapeake bay, for
whom it was named. He was also owner
of the old steamer Balloon, which piled
between Baltimore and Chester river
Capt Tilghman was noted for his hospit-
atty and his generosity resulted in his
general financial embarrassment. OF late
years he has been engaged in the oyster
trade in this city-and following the wa
ter generally. His remains will be taken
to the Eastern Shore for interment.

The Election In the CITY.

Early this morning politicians began to
move about the city in the interest OF the
respective candidates, looking after de-
linquent voters, and by the time the
polls were opened some of the leading
Candidates could be seen arouad the polls.
The ward workes were at their post of
duty as soon as the polls opened, and as
each voter came up to vote he was not
only checked off by the clerks inside the
poll room, but also by one or two record.
keepers at the window, and their votes
recorded in the Democrat, Republican or
doubtful column as the case might be-
A record was also kept of the Indepen-
dent vote and those who voted split tick
cts. These records are generally in the
hands of some person familiar with the
voting population, and this way a pretty
general idea can be found how the cleo
tion is going. Up to noon to day there
had been no disturbance worthy of note,
at any Of the polling places in the city,
and no arrests were made in consequence.
There was every indication that heavy
vote was being polled, and the full
| strength of both parties would be brought
out. There was considerable cutting of
some of the local candidates. 1t was sal 1
| that Flood, for county commissioner and
Ireland, for States Attorney. were being
cut, and also others on the ticket. On
the other hand the State ticket would
poll the full strength of the party. There
was also some cutting and trading in the
republican ranks. The coloIed vote was
tagging aud did not come up and show a
''soid point as was expected by the Re-
publicans, aud many of their either alb
sented themselves from the city or were
holding off to be creased, 1t was
claimed by the Republicans that the
Democrats were using money to buy up
the colored vote, and that many of them
had been captured in this way.

The Poor Voter Election Day.

The proudest man is but my peer,
The highest, not more high;
To-day. of all the weary year,
A king of men am |.
To-day, alike are great and small
The nameless and the known;
Ny palace is the peoples hall,
The ballot box my throne
Who serves, to-day upon the list
Besides the served shall stand
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor
The week is strong to-day:
And sleekest broad-cloth counts no more
Than home spun frock of gray.
To-day let pomp and vain pcetense
Ny stubborn sight abide
/ set plain mans common sense
Against the pedant's pride
To-day shall simple manhod try
The strength of gold and land.
The wide world has no wealth TO buy
The power in my right hand
While there's grief to seek redress,
A balance to adjust.
Where weighs our living manhood less
Than mammon's vilest dust,
While there's right to deed my vote,
A wrong 10 sweep away,
Up clouted knee and ragged coat
A mans man to-day
